Getting an error when opening the latest version of the addon. Extract of log file:If your using this addon + IPTV Merge, after the latest update (0.18.1) - you will just need to add DSTV in as EPG in IPTV Merge.
IPTV Merge -> EPGS -> Add -> Plugin -> DSTV Now
Thanks,

Make sure you are running dstv now 0.18.2 and iptv merge 0.27.5 and that dstv now is not already added under epgs
SABC streams are fairly easy to work with no encryption I have them set up in my NextPVR setup. No chunklist needed...Maybe someone can use this info to make one.
(If you put it in a text file with name ending .m3u it will work in many video players etc.)

This is the dstv website missing stuff for 7 and 8 Nov entirely somehow.
You mean the one from https://github.com/tinuva/kodi-files ?@Tinuva Is there a new version to your addon that had a few sport channels and BokTV in the list ?
I still use it for the Bok radio, but would like to get that sport also working ... maybe link to a new website ? Daddylive maybe
this one yes ...You mean the one from https://github.com/tinuva/kodi-files ?
I haven't used it in a long long time, didnt even realise it is still working for at least one url.
So sorry haven't made any updates to it.

Thanks for all your work with this - I assume you connect via the api.Just a headsup. Not sure what is going on with the EPG but it failed to run the past 2 days, and now when running it manually, a. bunch of stuff is missing.

same apiThanks for all your work with this - I assume you connect via the api.
For interest sake, where does https://www.dstv.com/en-za/explore/tv-guide get their data from? Always seems up to date?

Ok but as you mentioned few posts back there is no data for 7/8 Nov, yet the dstv website has it?same api
